data centers

The Plattsburgh Common Council tonight will hold a public hearing and then vote on a temporary moratorium on “certain high energy use facilities.”

A planning board in western Massachusetts could finally vote on a data center permit extension - after punting over a month ago, WAMC's James Paleologopoulos reports.

Town officials in Massena are supporting a massive data center there. Now, a smaller project has been proposed in the small town of Chateaugay near the Canadian border. As Emily Russell reports for the New York Public News Network, some people there are pushing back.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has signed a new executive order that she says will give residents a voice in the future development of data centers.
